Yes, this certainly is true, we can show them some NIMF hospitality. And when I say hospitality I don't mean literal hospitality, I mean like we hurt them and stuff.
Not me. I deal with people most of the time I'm awake, approximately 12 hours a day, and I am smarter than all of them.
The SAT only measure whether you're a schoolboy. The higher score you got, that means the schoolboyier......... you're.
Well, tonight was the last night of my Critical Thinking class. That one seemed to be divided into two groups: a larger group up front, who either liked the class or at least tolerated it, and some in the back who were just hostile all semester. They would talk among themselves during lecture, making lots of noise, and didn't like it when I told them not to. They thought I was playing favorites, which I try very hard not to do. When they got their major essay back and I graded it mainly on grammar and sentence structure - just like I'd told them I would - several people from both groups were upset. On their final exam tonight, I had a comments section and encouraged them (for extra points) to tell me what they liked most and least about the class. There were some positive ones, but a lot of people still felt negative or didn't feel that the class was what they had hoped for. Weird - I taught this same class, the same way, last year and no one had a major problem with it. This year, there was tension and everybody knew about it. That hasn't happened in my chemistry classes for a while; of course, I'm a little better trained in chemistry than in "critical thinking", which can be a lot of different things to a lot of people. But, again, it was OK the first time I did it. There are always going to be "bad kids"; however, some of mine are in leadership positions and get all kinds of honors and have decent relationships with other professors. That doesn't mean they're not jackasses... look how many jackasses are "popular" and get elected to office... but I just wonder what I was doing wrong. It feels especially weird because I'm not even 30 years old yet and I don't see myself as being in another peer group from the students. I relate, socially, a lot more to them than to the other faculty. Some of them are close to my age or even older. I even have student friends (usually those who aren't taking my classes). I don't go around trying to act like I'm superior to everyone because I feel like we should all be on the same level (except for the necessary jobs we have to do in the classroom... and I bend over backwards to be fair about the way I do mine). It just feels really awful when I can't get it to work. It's lonely at the "top", you know. I only missed two questions on the entire @#%#!! SAT; however, I must have missed a lot more than that when dealing with my life. Thanks for listening.
Isabel, Just read about the ridiculous spat between Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone. That will make you feel better right away.
Isabel - What you should have done was told all the jerkfaces that they all were getting a failing grade because they all committed the fatal psychological fallacy of being complete ****heads
Isabel, when all else fails, just remember that your clutchbbs family still loves you.... especially Moe...just dont encourage him, I think he just got finished watching The Graduate.. .
Maybe. Looks like they party a little: http://www.lsm.us.mensa.org/sigs.htm I've considered joining before, but never found a reason to motivate me. I mean just because someone tests 'smart' doesn't mean they'd be more sociable.
